Will Oracle 10g and Oracle XE happily co-exist on same machine?

I can't seem to find anything specifically saying that Oracle 10g and Oracle XE can be installed on the same Windows machine. The only reason I'd want to do this is that I originally had the free version on my Windows machine. The uninstaller nevers seems to run a complete job and always leaves bits over. So I'd like to install Oracle 10g alongside Oracle XE.
Wondered if anybody had done this already?

to uninstall Oracle, do the following:
1. Uninstall all Oracle components using the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI).
2. Run regedit.exe and delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE key. This contains registry entires for all Oracle products.
Delete any references to Oracle services left behind in the following part of the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Ora*
It should be pretty obvious which ones relate to Oracle.
4. Reboot your machine.
5. Delete the "C:\Oracle" directory, or whatever directory is your ORACLE_BASE.
6. Delete the "C:\Program Files\Oracle" directory.
7. Empty the contents of your "c:\temp" directory.
8. Empty your recycle bin.
At this point your machine will be as clean of Oracle components as it can be.
Remember, manually editing your registry can be very destructive and force an OS reinstall so only do it as a last resort.

    Hi All,
    I want to install oracle 10g and oracle9i database on same windows machine.
    As far as i know i have install oracle10g and 9i on different oracle_home.
    Any thing is required.
    Regards,

    umair,
    Install 9i into an ORACLE_HOME.
    Install 10g into an other ORACLE_HOME.
    Nothing more is required, only the Oracle requirements for each version.
    Your attention when you will connect, set always the good ORACLE_HOME before connection.

  • Xpath difference between Oracle 10g and Oracle 11g

    All,
    I'm working on moving our existing stored functions from Oracle 10g (10.2.0.4.0) to Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0) and so far, everything has worked just fine on Oracle 11g...execpt for one xpath statement.
    The statement below works fine in Oracle 10g (10.2.0.4.0):
    extractValue(inv_dtl_img, '/service//ground/sortKeyCode') AS "srt_key_cd",
    Please note: I need to use the double slash "//" in order to ignore the two different elements in the schema.
    However, in Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0), when this statement is executed in the stored function, I get this:
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got -
    The extractValue command is pulling data out of an XMLType column, and the corresponding XML schema looks like:
    <service>
    <trans>
    <ground>
    <sortKeyCode>
    </sortKeyCode>
    </ground>
    </trans>
    <nontrans>
    <ground minOccurs=0>
    <sortKeyCode>
    </sortKeyCode>
    </ground>
    </nontrans>
    </service>
    Please note: In the XML message, the "trans" and "nontrans" elements are exclusive, so both will never be populated at the same time. A typical XML message would look like this:
    <service><trans><ground><sortKeyCode>3</sortKeyCode></ground></trans></service>
    or this:
    <service><nontrans><ground><sortKeyCode>5</sortKeyCode></ground></nontrans></service>
    In the schema, the sortKeyCode has been defined in both places as "string maxlen=3", so the datatype of that element is exactly the same in both the "trans" and "nontrans" sections of the schema. The only difference in the schema (outside of the trans and nontrans tags) is the fact that the second "ground" tag is defined with a "minOccurs=0". Could Oracle 11g be treating the schema differently than Oracle 10g, resulting in the error?
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    The only way to get an quick answer to that one is to file a service request with Oracle support. It could be a bug or a correct change regarding W3C behavior. Despite this, you moving to 11.2, the extract/extractvalue etc propriety Oracle solutions are deprecated from 11.2 and onwards. The more sensible way to move forward, although, I know more work intensive, is to apply the XQuery alternatives like xmlexist, xquery or xmltable functions.
    Moving to EXTRACT is a bad idea, because this alway will be treated as an XML fragment. If you unlucky then Oracle will deal with this in memory via DOM (the standard solution regarding XML parsing if every smart thing within Oracle can not be applied) and this will result in a performance downgrade due to high CPU and Memory consumption/overhead...

  • Difference between Oracle 10g and Oracle 11g when using Distinct in SQL

    Hi All,
    When I use Distinct in Oracle 10g, the result would be sorted in ascending order automatically, while there is no sorting in the result set in Oracle 11g.
    I was using plsql developer to run my sql.
    May I know if anyone have the same experience before?
    Is there any kind of setting in 11g that I can make the result in order? Thanks!
    Edited by: user5810051 on 2011/4/6 下午 8:47

    As acadet says, if you want your result ordered you must specify an ORDER BY clause in your query. Just because previous versions of oracle included some ordering as part of the processing of a query, that was not a guaranteed ordering, but just a side-effect. Now that Oracle have improved the internal workings, they've removed the side-effect, and that's why you're not getting the ordering you want, because you were relying on that side-effect rather than explicitly stating the order you wanted.

  • DB Link between Oracle 10g and Oracle 9i for CLOB data type

    How do I transport XMLType or CLOB from oracle 9i to Oracle 10G using DBLink?
    Is any restrction to DBLink, while transfering CLOB with XML data from oracle 9i to Oracle 10G?
    Please let me know how i resolve this issue.
    Thanks in advance.
    DK

    Well... it depends on what type of link you wish to create.
    If you have same user with same password on both databases (9i and 10G), then you can create a public database link as
    CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK dblink USING 'dbalias';
    Note: dbalias is the value from your TNSNAMES.ORA. The database from which you are creating the db link has to have the entry in TNS for other database.
    Other method is to create a private db link
    CREATE DATABASE LINK dblink CONNECT TO user IDENTIFIED by pwd using 'dbalias';
    The number of open connections from a particular database is governed by init parameter DB_LINKS (this was in 8i.. not sure about higher versions)

  • Can Oracle 10g and Oracle 9i coexist and run together in one machine

    Dear Friends,
    I have installed Oracle 10g on my machine which already had Oracle 9i - 9.1.2.0 Release. Now the problem is that when i try to create a service name it gives me this error- ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor. To overcome this what i have done is that i have stopped the Oracle 9i listner and started the Oracle 10g listner, it is working after this but Oracle 9i service stpooed. Does this mean that Oracle 9i & 10g listner can't run together ? Or one has to stop the listner for one version to start another. The port number is same 1521 for both the listner. When i tried to change the port number still the same error comes as described above.
    Kindly enlighten me,
    Thanks & Regards,
    Vinay

    if you want to configure both listener (oracle 9i and 10g listener)
    then u configure
    listener9i on 1521 port
    and other
    listener10g is on 1522 port
    also make changes in tnsnames.ora file
    as
    ora9i =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.16.1)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = ora9i)
    ora10g =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.16.1 )(PORT = 1522))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = ora10g)

  • Can Portal 3.0 and 8i/9i Database Software exist on same Machine?

    Our current setup at work is webdb 2.1 and Oracle EE 8.0.5 residing on ONE physical server.
    (Sun Solaris)I need to upgrade the Software to Oracle EE 8.1.7 and Portal 3.0. We do not run Webdb as part of an internet or intranet site(These are controled by other departments)We use these products so a small number of users (9-30) can easily access a data warehouse via a browser. I will never get the funding for a 2nd Physical machine to act as as application server. I am hoping I am confused but can Portal 3.0 and 8i/9i Datbase software be installed on the same physical machine? I was led to believe that 9i Application Server Software can not be installed on the same machine as the 8i/9i
    database.Why do I need application server software or the 9iAS http listener when Oracle 8.1.7 comes with an inbuilt http listener?
    If we have to have a 2nd physical machine,
    management will pull the plug on Oracle and will go with another vedor solution. I don't want to loose my Oracle SQL skills, can someone please help!

    I've installed Portal 3 (production) and database 8.1.7 on one machine running Windows 2000 and 99% works fine.
    The procedure is:
    1) Install the database from operating user X in Oracle-home A
    2) Turn off the http-listener for the database.
    3) Install iAS from os-user Y in Oracle-home B.
    If you do not use separate users or use database 8.1.6 or earlier, you get problems with the java-patchs and libraries.
    By the way - it is NOT possible to install a development environment (Designer 6/6i, Developer 6i, Discoverer 3.1) on that same machine. Cause is that ias9i installs Developer 6i patch 2 (runtime) and that version doesn't operate against the latest available development patches. So, I think in your case you have to install the development software on the clientmachines.

  • USER_DEPENDENCIES view in oracle 11g and oracle 10g are different?

    I have tested oracle 10g and oracle 11g. And I found some different behavior in the user_dependencies view between two oracle version.
    In the oracle 10g, whatever referenced object is populated in the user_dependencies view. In the oracle 11g, however, only valid referenced objects are populated in it.
    For example, a package, pac_1, references table, ref_tab_1, and package, ref_pac_2. After ref_tab_1 is dropped and ref_pac_2 is invalid, I query to user_dependencies.
    sql> select referenced_name, referenced_type from user_dependencies where name = 'pac_1'.
    In oracle 10g, the result is like the following,
    < referenced_type > , < referenced_name >
    non-existent , ref_tab_1
    package , ref_pac_2
    In oracle 11g, the result is not showing non-existed object nor invlid object like the following,
    no rows selected
    Is that the TRUE or do I missed some when I installed database or created database in 11g?
    Is there a way to make the behavior of user_dependencies like it in 10g which shows all the referenced objets?

  • Important differences between oracle 10g and 11g

    Hi friends, can anyone tell me (pointwise) what are the major (and minor) differences between Oracle 10g and 11g.
    Please point me to some documents if possible.
    Thanks in advance

    The name of the link says it all: "top_features."
    In short it is Oracle's list of what they have for marketing and sales reasons designated "top features."
    It is not intended to be, and is not, a complete list of features. Often the features Oracle does not
    talk about are the most important.
    Let me give you some examples. I have never seen Oracle announce DBMS_XPLAN as a new feature
    yet you should not run an explain plan without it. Neither have I ever seen Oracle announce the new
    NO_DATA_NEEDED predefined exception. I have listed literally hundreds of new features you will not
    find in Oracle's new features docs.
    I did a presentation at OpenWorld this year as part of the unconference titled "New Features in
    Database 11gR2 that Oracle will not announce." It was easy to prepare a one hour presentation with
    little fear of being proved incorrect. As I turned out only one of the features I presented was mentioned
    by Oracle.
    You can find the presentation slides here:
